No twins for me but I can just imagine how uncomfortable it must be getting for you. May God grant you the strength to get through it. Just a thought.. Have you tried getting some sleep on a bean bag? It may bring some relief since it moulds to your body when you sit on it.

Have you got a good pregnancy pillow?

Yeh I have a good pregnancy pillow and I even got a brand new mattress and base about 10 weeks ago cos I was due for a new one and knew I would get a sore back. It's just hard to get comfortable and turning from one side to another is difficult :( I know it will all be worth it in the end

I'm sorry you're sleeping so crappy. I am twinning too but only 18wks. Luckily I still sleep like the dead..( in between having to turn over or pee.)
Turning over kills because of pelvic and sciatic pain. Last night I discovered that if I hold my knee up to my chest (or on the side of me in the general direction of my chest lol) whilst I turn over, it helps with the pain.
Try soaking your feet in warm to hot water with a table spoon of rock salt for 30 mins before bed. My Chinese massage therapist (experienced and qualified with pregnancy) gave me this tip and it seems to help me sleep really well. She said to do it when you feel very tired.
Also, there are some homeopathic sleep remedies (safe during pregnancy and bf) available from health food shops or naturopaths/homeopaths.
Hope you get some rest soon x
